What is RSS?

Nov 21st, 2000 06:33
Michael Claßen,


The Rich Site Summary (RSS) format is a widely popular XML vocabulary
for describing news channels on the Web, effectively publishing a list
of links annotated with title and description. By offering an RSS file a 
Web site can advertise its content in an always up-to-date fashion and
allow other sites to include those links to aggregate useful information
on a certain topic.
